NObOdv's DarliNg-The
MugWUlnp.

We trust our readers will pardon
us if, amid the general rejoicing
over the happy issue Of the Senate.
Iial contest, we pause to make few
brief remarks upon the ssd fat,
which has overtaken the poor Mug
wump. Poor, poor muggir! He
was cut off, as Mr.. Dennis would say,
IN his flower, and persisted, as it
were, in the blossom. The gentle,
the guileless, the soft voiced, tn.
dove-eyed, the perfect, yea, we may
now say, the pluperfcct Mugwump,
when shall we ltok upon his like
again? But yesterday his sweet snd
tuneiul yip-yap was heard in the
land. Soft as the zephyrs Of June,
but on its utterance the fate Of men
and Of parties, and the destinies of
the Republic were supposed to hang.
Now it walls in silence and alone! |!
The day Of his destiny's over, the
star of his fate has declined, and the
melancholy wind blow through his
whiskers with a sobbi.g and a mourn,
ful sound! The Mugwump came up
as flower and was cut down. He
vanished as a shadow and cuntinueth
not. As the snow that lights npon
the waterfall, and as the song Of \
bird flown by; as the dim memory
of dream, as n mildewed ear, a
blasted flower, a blighted hope; as
an old song, dead love, or a tear.
stained page; as broken sceptre, II
dishonored draft; AS cast off shoe,
or last years birds nest, 80 shall
we think upon the Mugwulnp that
was but is not. Not that we would
say that the Mugwump is actually
dead. AS the brakeman said while
contemplating the ruins Of disem-
boweled and generally smashed up
mule which had collided with a rail.
road engine, ale is not exactly dead,
but he is very much discouraged"
A poor outcast from the cold worlds
favor, houseless, homeless, wander
ing beggar, a despised political va.
grant, kicked and cuffed from every
mans door, wearing upon his brow
the ceascless gloom of the faoled
Hebrew wanderer and upon the slack
of his pants the print of countless
shoe soles, doomed, desperate and
hopeless, unfit to live aud unfit to
die, he staggers aimlessly and hope.
lessly onward like a fugitive from
destiny. No more shall his pious
cussedness sex the souls Of the saints,
or his holy deviltry work mischief to
the cause Of righteousness. Like a
fangless serpent, we shall hear his
hiss, but no more shall we fear his
sting. There is no mere hope for the
Mugwump in this world, aud it be-
comes us not oprophesy his destiny
in the world to come. But il the thief
found forgiveness and salvation on
the cross, we may hope that there is
yet a slender chance for the Mug
wump. 1t would, indeed, be sad il
the Mugwump, after being so hardly
used in this world, should be handed
over to the devil in the next. We
may, therefore, dismiss the Mug.
wump with forgiveness for his sins
pity for his sorrows and a prayer fo'
his hereafter.-[ Ex.

KISSING THE NOSE.
The Latest London Fad In Heightened Os-
culation Exercises.


The little god of Love will possibly
laugh in his sleeve, if ever he wears
one, to learn there is a new kiss. 1t
is ticklish subject to deal with, for
everybody supposes he or she under
stands the art of this expression of af-
lection, and will feel aggrieved to be
told there is something new about SO old
chestnut. Nevertheless, society has
been stirred by the intelligence that it
is now the proper caper to imprint
salute on the tip of the nose when
friends desire to be particularly dem
onstrative. The courtly kiss upon the
hand, the warmer OSCILLATION of the lips,
have been thrown into social darkness
by no less all arbiter than the Princess
of Wales. 1t appears that this lovely
specimen of royalty was observed kiss
ing her sister-in-law, the Princess Wal
mar, in this particular fashion, whether
by accident or intention the observer
fails to state, and Immediately the idea
caught on to the hattering crowd of
courtiers. When two ladies meet or
part now it won't be my dear (xiss OH
the right cheeky how glad | am to see
you" (l1iss for the left cheek)-but the
gushing pair will just light on the tips
of each others noses, like two birds
pecking at lump ofsugar. This fash
onable kiss has its advantage, as will be
seen ut once. There can be no disturb
ance of "make up" No one under
stands that better than the lovely
princess. The French kiss on the fore
head, emblematic of chastity and deep
devotion, is routed, foot, horse and
dragons, by this new kiss, which ought
to be immensely popular, consideringit
is the latest London fad.--BoStos Her-

A SACRED RUG.
The Precious Relic Owned by the Propri.
etor of a st. Louis Curiosity Shop.

The Precious Relic Owned by the Propri
etor of a st. Louis Curiosity shop.
Ihave in my possession rug which is
nearly 1900 years old. l bought it in
Malatia, on the banks of the Euphrates,
where Mohammedan family had
owned it for at least 800 years. The rug
is different from most of those of modern
make, being palmer in pattern and
somewhat crude in finish. Its design is
interesting as specimen of that realism
in art which precedes all conventional
design. 1t represents the facade of q
mosqae or medieval Moorish style
with two minarets on either side and u
number of turrets rising toward the
center, where the highest is surmounted
by crescent and star. Only the four
primary colors are used, and while
age has dimmed and made them richer,
there is none of that. gorgeous effect
produced later by the prodigal blending
of sensuous hues. as seen in all Eastern
carpets of to-day. 1t is eight feet long
and about five and one-half feet in
width The date, 122 in the Hegira,
corresponds to the year 705 of the Chris
tan era, making it 1882 years old.
The rug also has history. Tradition
says that for centuries it was sacred to
the use of priests in the Mecca Mosque.
According to the Koran, it was holy
thing, and as such could not be sold.
Soon after coming into my hands l sent
with large consignment of carpets
to Constantinople, where, perceiving its
age and sacred character, the customs
detained it. In vain protested it was
mine by right of lawful purchase; the
authorities were unmoved. A relic
wrought in honor of the third successor
of the Prophet could never be allowed
to pass into the hands of infidels. Nc
gold could atone for such sacrilege. 1t
was a struggle between Allah and his
enemies, between the Koran and Nizam,
between religious and civil law. Gold
was used freely, the officials were re-
peatedly bribed, but apparently without
effect. A year and half passed, during
which came to America, having aban-
doned all hope of recovering my treas
ure, when one day last July, in Phila.
delphia, where 1 had opened place OF
business, was astonished to receive it
intact. as it had been consigned to me
from the Turkish house of customs.
Since then it has been exhibited in a
number of cities, and has attracted con-
siderable attention. / have received
offers for its purchase, but have no wish
to part with it. Iplace its value, how
ever, at nearly So, 000.-St. Louis Globe.

Medicine for the Mind.

1t is sometimes difficult to say which
works more mischief, enemies with the
worst, or friends with the best inten-
tons.
AS the medical properties of some
plants can be adduced only by distilla-
ton, SC our good qualities can only be
proven by trials.
Life at the greatest and best is but a
forward .child that must be humored
and coaxed little till it falls asleep and
then all is over.
Apathy is one of the worst moral dis
eases; it incapacitates us from combat
ting the encroachment of vice and closes
every avenue of our souls to the APP
proach of virtue.
When we are laboring under ply
steal malady we see every thing through
distorted medium; we are no longer
masters of ourselves, but the victims of a
distempered imagination.-Good House
